Personality value: Difference between revisions

If ''p'' is even, that Pokémon has the first [[ability]] for its species. If it's odd, it has the second. If a species has only one ability while ''p'' is odd, it gets the only ability it can. Pokémon transferred from [[Generation III]] to [[Generation IV]] that can get one of the [[Generation IV#New abilities for old Pokémon|new abilities]] will retain the ability they had in Generation III, however, if they are evolved and their personality value is odd, they will get the new ability upon evolution. In this way, it is possible for a {{p|Porygon2}} to have the ability {{a|Download}}, despite its pre-evolution having the ability {{a|Trace}}, even though it came from the Generation III games.
